Day 1 of Event #21: $1,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8-Handed saw a field of 2,017 entries dwindled down to the last 117 competitors. They'll return today at noon to the Horseshoe Event Center to vie for the lion's share of the $1,795,130 prize pool. The eventual winner will collect $267,991 and the luscious gold WSOP bracelet, but that will not be determined until Day 3 Saturday.
Suk Bang bagged the chip lead, which is worth nearly 150 big blinds, and was followed by Ido Aboudithe, who was the only other player who bagged over a million with roughly 100 big blinds. There will be plenty of other notables with a chance at a run including former WSOP Player of the Year winners, Josh Arieh and Daniel Negreanu.
There are also a couple of Pot Limit Omaha coaches in the form of Dylan Weisman and Fernando "Jnandez" Habegger who both bagged decent stacks; this is Weisman's third year bagging this tournament, having won it in 2021. Habegger is fresh off a runner up in the $5,000 NLH/PLO Mix last week. David Williams also bagged a decent stack, he bagged last year but the final table eluded him.

Dylan Weisman raised to 28,000 from early position, finding calls from Michael Dentale in the cutoff and Jay Kerbel in the big blind.
Kerbel checked the K♠6♣3♠ flop, with Weisman continuing for 25,000. Dentale then raised the pot to 174,000, producing a quick fold from Kerbel.
Weisman took some time before mucking his hand, as Dentale took down an early pot.

Lawrence Brandt raised it to 25,000 when it folded to him on the button. Only Fernando Habegger in the big blind made the call.
The flop came out 9♠J♣2♦ and both players checked. The turn brought the A♥ and Habegger checked. Brandt then bet 35,000, which was called.
The river brought in the Q♦ and Habegger took some time before cutting out a bet of 130,000. Brandt tossed his hand in the muck and Habegger scoop a pot, moving up in the counts.

Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Cards were on their backs and Daniel Negreanu had his camera out, sweating both his opponents' cards and how they affected his outs.
Daniel Negreanu: K♠Q♠Q♦2♦
Will Berry: A♣9♦6♦8♣
Nicolas Gola: K♥Q♥2♦2♣
Gola was the only one with a hefty stack and put both his opponents at risk. The flop ran out K♦6♣J♥ putting Gola and Negreanu ahead with the same made hand. The A♥ on the turn was a dagger to both of them as Berry now took the lead. An inconsequential 7♠ fell on the river.
Berry found a triple up and Negreanu was left chopping a measly pot with Gola; this left Negreanu with only 16,000 chips. He did fold a few hands before getting it in three ways shortly after but to no avail.
Negreanu was in a hurry to get his pay out, as he intends on registering the $10,000 Limit Hold'em event that's going on today. This is a variant he has years of experience in and, as always, we'll have to keep an eye on him to catch his next deep run.
